WCH goes dumpster diving. Hey, W, you have a piece of mayo covered lettuce stuck to your ear. What looks like a used Kotex napkin stuck to the back of your leg. But damn, there musta bin 3 ounces of Scotch left in the bottom of that bottle. Good find, bud. Helps to have lots of free time.

Mallett could be a good fit for the Jaguars. They have a surprisingly decent and potentially great receiver situation with Shorts, Blackmon, and Lewis, the OL has a lot of talent, and MJD is back there. There's not a lot keeping them from being the 2012 Colts if they land the right QB.

Giving up a second round pick for Mallett lets them devote the rest of their draft to the defense.

To say the Jaguars offensive line "has a lot of talent" is overstating the case significantly! I concede that the left tackle position is currently stable; Eugene Monroe is probably one of the best ten at that position in the league.

However!

No one else currently on the Jaguars roster is a fit for the new zone-blocking scheme!

I always liked the Monroe-Britton bookends (yes, I know Britton is an UFA and hasn't been as good since his first couple seasons).

He's a UFA and he's almost definitely not getting re-signed. The bookends were a great concept that didn't work out because Britton's injuries basically robbed him of the agility necessary to pass block at right tackle.

I still think Gabbert has a shot to develop, even if it is only a small chance. He was the youngest player in the NFL when they drafted him and this season is crucial for him. Jacksonville has never really had a lot of talent around him and with added maturity, there is a possibility that he gets substantially better.

The fact that Jacksonville is still committed to him usually is a sign that they still feel he has potential to be a decent starter. I still remember that Eli basically stunk his first 3 years in the league and didn't break out till his 4th season, so I am always reluctant to jump on the bust bandwagon till a QB has been in the league for 4 seasons as long as his team continues to start him.

Now I'm not guaranteeing that success is in his future, that is still up in the air and could go either way, just saying he still has a chance to be decent based on his age coming into the league, the talent base in Jacksonville and his added maturity. He certainly has all the physical tools, but you have to wonder if he has the mental toughness needed for success in the NFL. Time will tell.

Seriously, why would any team give up a relatively high draft pick for a QB who has done nothing really but take kneel downs in games basically?
Plus, its not like he lit it up in preseason. I just don't see any basis on why a team would trade a 2nd or 3rd round pick for him.

He was a 1st round/early 2nd talent who slipped because of drug rumors. He is still on the roster and has had no legal issues, so his biggest flaw as a prospect isn't an issue at all. Mallett has a large amount of talent and has had the opportunity to mold himself behind Brady and the best coach in the NFL.

He probably is the best QB semi-available that a team could reasonably attempt to acquire. He also compares very favorably to the QBs in the draft this year now that the drug issue has been dispelled. He is in the mix with Geno and is certainly above Barkley and Glennon.

He hasn't done squat in the NFL yet, but I would gladly trade a 3rd (maybe a 2nd) just for the Mallett as the prospect coming out in college now that the drug issue isn't there. Adding in he has learned to be a pro with on of the best QBs ever and the best coach in the NFL. I just think he was a great prospect who is now a little older but has solidified his character concerns and matured as a professional off the field.

Well, that 2nd or 3rd round pick also has done nothing in the NFL either.
